This is an interactive cooking class and your student will be baking and decorating right along with me. I will demonstrate step by step, making sure we move along together through completing the recipe. I will have one camera that is dedicated just to the work station so your student can see exactly what is taking place. Your student will be able to ask questions and meet new friends. While this recipe is edible, it's best just for decorating as it is firmer than the regular gingerbread cookie. I will provide a recipe in class for delicious gingerbread cookies that are not as firm. I am always happy to provide you a recipe with substitutions for any allergies that your student may have for that recipe. Summer Course: Your student can build a Gingerbread house for Christmas in July! Instead of snow, we will have 'sand". We will use bright and colorful candies to decorate. It's not to early for your students to learn how to make and decorate their own Gingerbread.

Hello! My name is Athalia and I have a degree in Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu, in addition to my bachelors degree in Psychology. I completed my culinary internship at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida through the Disney College Program. I worked at the All Star Movies Resort preparing meals and cooking in front of guests. After that, I worked for Aramark as a Catering Cook 1 at the University of Central Florida.
When our son was born, I left the formal culinary world and embarked on my own culinary adventure. I successfully ran my own catering company and cake business. I have taught cooking classes to kids and adults, both in person and online. I have hosted cooking classes for kids at community centers, in their homes, homeschool co-cops and churches
I am now a homeschool Mom of 1 that still enjoys sharing my love for culinary arts with kids. I hope to share my knowledge that I have gained over these 12+ years with your student. I want to make sure that after taking my classes, your student is more knowledgeable and confident in their own culinary endeavors.
I am originally from the island of Trinidad and Tobago and really enjoy sharing island style cooking and Caribbean history with the kids I teach. I enjoy teaching all kinds of cuisine though.I like to engage my kids and allow them to ask many questions until they understand what they are doing. I am always creating and trying new dishes, so keep looking out for fun interactive and flexible classes.Reviews
